The recent QLD flood disaster did not leave the Queensland Russian Community Centre unscathed.

The Masquerade Ball preparations were in full swing when on Wednesday January 12, 2011 the water levels around QRCC began to rise sharply.

Thanks to the concerted action of the QRCC Management Committee, supporting organisation Australian Innovative Systems and most importantly our selfless volunteers, we were able to evacuate from the building the most valuable documents and property of QRCC.

After the flood water went down the Management Committee members spent a day cleaning QRCC property. QRCC received a high score during the inspection of kitchen and cold room facilities by Brisbane City Council representatives.
